Parents, are you using this powerful tool? (15 mins.) Analysis with the audience.
Read John 13:13-15. Then ask:
Why do you think Jesus achieved such good results by teaching by example?
Jesus achieved such good results by teaching by example because he showed humility and genuine love. He not only taught with words, but he acted on what he preached, leaving a lasting impression on his disciples.
For example, by washing the feet of his disciples, a task considered humble, Jesus showed them the importance of serving others regardless of their position. In this way, his disciples could understand and practice these qualities by seeing them reflected in their teacher.

By living according to what he taught, Jesus made his disciples deeply understand his lessons. They not only heard his words, but saw how to apply them in real life. This made his teaching clear, sincere and easy to imitate, because it came from a genuine example.
Furthermore, Jesus showed that he was approachable, loving, and willing to sacrifice himself for others, which motivated his disciples to follow him with trust and gratitude. His example had a powerful impact because it perfectly reflected the values of his Father, Jehovah.
Play the VIDEO We teach our daughters by example. Then ask:
What important lessons did these fathers teach their daughters?
These parents taught their daughters the importance of trusting in Jehovah's promises. They reminded them that, just as Jehovah promised the exiles to return to their land to build and enjoy their own homes, he also assures us of a future home in the new world. They instilled in them that Jehovah cares for us even in difficult situations, such as losing a home or facing challenges.
When we serve Jehovah, we gain unparalleled spiritual security, preparing us to enjoy an eternal home in paradise. The text of Isaiah 65:21 reinforces this hope: “They will build houses and live in them.” Additionally, these lessons help us value our current spiritual home, which gives us shelter and guidance as we await the full fulfillment of these promises.

Furthermore, by talking to them about Jehovah’s promised future, I can encourage them to stay close to Him to enjoy those blessings. Thus, with my example, I show you how to trust in Jehovah, seek his guidance and value the promises of the paradise to come.
